The Alan King yard's flat performers can do little wrong at the moment and Spring Dream. Racing here off a 4lb higher mark after a victory at Bath last time out. The drop back by two furlongs should not inconvenience her and she looks the safest bet. Multicultural was strongly backed to land a Yarmouth handicap last time out but was outpointed by Roodolph who has since left the form down when well beaten last week. The veteran Street Life is a real admirable performer but often finds a couple too good while Rose Row failed to confirm her Bath form with the selection at the same venue last time. She is now 4lb better off for a 1l beating but this contest may well prove tougher for her to get competitive. Spring Dream is the selection to land the finale.
